Jacoby Ballard (he/they) is a social justice educator, yoga teacher and author of the new book A Queer Dharma: Yoga and Meditations for Liberation.Jacoby defines Queer dharma as “a practice that interrogates systems of power and seeks liberation for all”. In our conversation, we talk about the intersections of yoga and capitalism and white supremacy and cultural appropriation while also returning to the wisdom of yoga - that the yoga practice as it was intended provides a visionary pathway forward to a liberated life. Jacoby invites us to be in a critical and courageous inquiry around how we resist the straight dharma that we have been fed by dominant culture and embrace the truth of our interdependence and collective wellbeing. This conversation is juicy and essential.Check it out.
